Tex's Headers on US sc400
The headers are installed with some modication.
1) No EGR port .
2) 02 bung needed to be replaced with screw in type.
The car is loud now. I'd assume many wouldn't be pleased with it, but I'm pretty happy. No engine warning lights yet. The rear section used to be a do-luck cat back but was hacked up to fit the rest of the exhaust.
Pictures are too big to post so heres a link
and I apologize for my camera work.

It's really not much to brag about.

i'm jealous! i've had my set sitting here for ... too long
i only see two cats, how did you get them to remove (and keep off!) the 3rd one?
how long was the install?
how much did they charge? was it easy or hard for them to install them?

From what I've read, we only have 2 cats.
That 3rd one isn't a cat but a resonator of some sort.
Install wasn't easy. It wasn't just bolt on and go.
EGR port had to be adapted.
O2 bungs had to be remade.
And I forgot to mention that the stud holes needed to be made bigger.
It took awhile and it did cost me. I wouldn't suggest going to your local muffler shop but I think a good performance shop could handle something like this.
All in all, no complaints from me. I love the sound. I think there's a little more power but won't know until I make it to the track.

Did you relocate the EGR valve?
I don't think you can pass emissions without an EGR valve. It may emit too much Nox gas to pass.
how did you address this issue?
I would love to do it but don't want a vehicle that will not meet emission standards....
